Most people don’t really consider their personal online reputation to be important. This is particularly true with small business owners. However, it is important to remember that just a few bad reviews online could easily result in a huge personal and business loss, not to forget, cyber bullying on the internet.

Using our blog, we keep giving out tips to our clients, which they can use to protect their personal image and brand. Here are a few to start protecting your reputation in the virtual world:
#1-Look Up Your Business On Google
Protecting your online reputation, against websites like Shesahomewrecker.com and TheDirty.com starts with keeping tabs. Google your business. If that doesn’t seem as a practical approach every now and then, you can also setup Google alerts to learn whenever you are mentioned online. Online defamation websites have typically a large volume of traffic coming in all the time; this ranks them as highly authoritative websites
#2-Maintain An Active Online Presence
Social media is a critical part of most businesses today. Having an active presence on these websites with engaging content can help you develop the perfect reputation and quickly address any complaints your customers might have. This will automatically help you create a loyal following that doesn’t believe in false defamatory claims.
#3-Claim Your Business Profile
Since a large number of people rely on various reviews across multiple websites before actually purchasing from you, it is important that you claim your business profile across all channels. Look around for review websites, claim your business profile and fix it.
#4-Keep All Your Interactions Professional
Receiving negative feedback is inevitable when you are running a business. However, how you decide to deal with negative feedback shows if a customer will be coming back to do business with you. Remember to not get defensive when a customer gives you negative feedback as this could quickly be turned into a defamatory campaign by your competitors.
#5-Keep Private and Business Accounts Separate
While it is a good idea to post pictures of you involved in business activities and events on your multiple social media platforms, you certainly should analyze visual content before posting. Keep a separate account for personal use where you only add a selected group of family and friends you know. Avoid adding strangers to your personal profile. As most reputation management consultants say ‘keep private things private assuming that nothing is private.’
These are just a few of the ways you can use to ensure that you protect your brand reputation in the online world. Whether you are looking to remove posts from Shesahomewrecker.com or TheDirty.com, feel free to contact us to learn how the pros can help.
